(Andrew e-mails Mr. Answer Person: "What's up with Wade's Window Burgers. Is it still operating? Is it for sale? Really want to know. Please!)"
Mr. Answer Person says: I'm rarely at a loss for words, but this question felt like it came from left field.
As far as Mr. Answer Person knows, Wade's Window Burgers has not been in operation for at least one decade. The State of Iowa restaurant inspection records have no records for Wade's going back ten years. There's still a sign above the window, but the restaurant has been closed for a long time.
"Wade's Window Burgers" was named after Wade Bruening, who operated the business at the time. The property is still in his family's name. However, there is nothing to lead anyone to believe the property is for sale.
